Question

The German club made a table showing the ages of its members.

Club members' ages
Name Age (years)
Jaden 11
Aaliyah 6
Harold 7
Maura 7
Reba 7
Scarlett 9


What is the range of the numbers?

Answer 1

To find the range of the ages of the club members, we need to subtract the smallest age from the largest age.

The ages given are:
- Jaden: 11
- Aaliyah: 6
- Harold: 7
- Maura: 7
- Reba: 7
- Scarlett: 9

The smallest age is 6 (Aaliyah) and the largest age is 11 (Jaden).

Now, calculate the range:
\[
\text{Range} = \text{Largest Age} - \text{Smallest Age} = 11 - 6 = 5
\]

Therefore, the range of the ages is **5 years**.
